We report on three cases of mitral regurgitation in children at ages of 7 months, 5 months and 10 years old. In two of them, the etiology was congenital and the other it was rheumatic. The surgical technique used was valvuloplasty without support using the modified De Vega technique isolated or associated with other procedures. One of the children was re-operated seven years after the first surgery. All the patients were rated New York Association Class III before surgery. Following the surgery they were at Class I with good outcomes. All patients survived, without complications. According with the literature, mitral regurgitation can be treated with mitral valvuloplasty without support or using other surgical techniques, with excellent outcomes. We report here on one more option for its treatment especially in children and adolescents. This technique is easily performed and it permits growth of mitral valve during life.
